The 1968 map shows a pub and one other building on this site with an open field behind. Local websites say the pub was originally called the Wyther Hotel, later renamed The Yorkshireman, demolished in 2004. A CAMRA guide to Leeds pubs published in 1993 notes it as being a Tetley pub with lounge, snug and taproom. Work has recently started on a new development (Planning application 19/01670 by MD Construction Ltd, for 'Eleven houses, one block of four bungalows with staff facilities and one block of thirteen flats with one staff accommodation unit'). The reference to staff suggests some kind of sheltered or supported living accommodation.
